Inspired by the WMG above. The situation is either a) Squints are the Justice League in this universe, albeit, a more literal one, or b) They are alternate versions of the superheroes. Hodgins, as stated above, is Batman, Zack and Sweets are Robin (the latter replacing the former after the whole Gormogon mess), Brennan is Wonder Woman (she already has the costume), Cam is Catwoman (Again, costume) and Booth is Superman.

* Namely, the barriers between the living and dead have been growing weaker over the series and the weakest point is in the Jeffersonian. By the final season this rift will be reaching a breaking point. This will mean either a) the ghosts will try and repair it with the help of the Squints or b) [[ZombieApocalypse Zombie Apocalypse]] .

Gah, those were terrible, even by WMG standards. Sorry I posted those, it was two AM.


* Namely, the barriers between the living and dead have been growing weaker over the series and the weakest point is in the Jeffersonian, a place full of death. The ghosts, at first, took this as an opportunity to help the Squints (i.e.: Parker assisting Booth to escape the ship, Micah giving Brennan advice on the case and Lauren talking to her) but then more ghosts begin to remain there permanently, causing the rip between their worlds to become more dangerous as it grows bigger. In the final season, when the tear is reaching a critical point, the ghosts reveal what's been happening to the Squints and they team up to try and round up the ghosts and close the rift. Incredibly unlikely, of course, but would be totally awesome.

[[WMG: We will meet other ghosts throughout the series]]
Inspired by the WMG above, we'll see other ghosts on the show, each helping a character in one way or another. They'll be;
* Hodgins' parents
* Sweets' parents.
* Cam's mother

* The biggest issue I see with this plot is that they already did it with Booth.




to:

* Except that, at least sometimes, it does. There are all sorts of Supernatural things (Like the Witch's ghost) that get half-explained by the show, but still make more sense if viewed as Supernatural. Micah definitely seems to count.



[[spoiler:Zack]] was kidnapped at somepoint during season 3 by the Gormogon. He offered him a choice; a) become his new apprrentice to do his bidding and spy on [[spoiler: the Jeffersonian]] or b) be killed and eaten. [[spoiler:Zack]] refused, but the Gormogon then threatened to kill Hodgins if he didn't help him, leaving [[spoiler:Zack]] without much of an option. And to make sure [[spoiler:Zack]] didn't reveal what was happening, the Gormogon kept the threat on Hodgins' life as his black-mail material. Even after [[spoiler:the Gormogon is killed, Zack]] is too scared to come forwards, still afraid someone will try and kill him, so he takes the heat.

Expanding on the theory above, who else would have all that free time to go to lectures AND be a night guard? Also, no one else seems to know who he is, and Brennan is already talking to one dead person in the episode. Granted, "Bones" doesn't often deal with the supernatural, but this is WMG, it's meant to be fun.

After all, if the US Government wanted someone to spy on the lab it would be logical to make them a conspiracy theorist, as nobody would expect them to be part of a conspiracy.

government conspiracies.



The case for Sweets just fits together too well, and the case for Zach is just stretched a little too thin for my tastes. Plus Zach never actually killed anyone. Sweets showed up at the right time, threw just enough of a monkey wrench into the Gormogon case, and probably pegged Zach as the perfect patsy to keep the suspicion off of Sweets. And now Sweets is Zach's therapist, keeping him from confessing too much.
* The secret societies in the government know that the apprentice wasn't really killed, and that's why they ran the Jeffersonian labs through that thing in the JFK episode "The Proof in the Pudding" that Sweets identified as a psychological test.

*** B) You say "mocked," I say "reiterated." They addressed the fact that in the season 3 finale where they discover Zach is Gormogon's apprentice, Sweets was one of the suspects. I believe that this is their way of reminding us of that so that, if this theory is correct, it doesn't come out of left field.

[[WMG: Booth's tumor gave him psychic powers, albeit minor ones, ala Jonas Quinn of SG1]]
It explains why he was able to escape from the Gravedigger, and how Brennan was able to see Parker in the Cemetary. Booth subconsciously projected the image and voice of Corporal Parker into Brennan's mind.

[[WMG:Booth is '''not''' catholic or at least extremely lapsed]]
No real reason, It just seem in character for him to play up his religious background when bones get into one of her more HollywoodAtheist moments to remind her that people don't share her worldview and not to let it interfere the case.

Note that he seems okay with the idea of ghosts. A concept that runs counter Catholic church view on the afterlife.
